ladydraceI better start by admitting that I don't know enough French to really understand the plot, but I didn't exactly watch it for the plot, either. So prepare for perving, drooling and babbling. Yeah.
For about the first half of the movie, nobody speaks a word. Not much use for French skills, anyway. Sid's acting was wonderful but maybe a tad on the boring side. But it was good for the movie. A movie of the artsy, grimy, deep meaning-type, doesn't exactly need fast paced action. Instead we got lots of landscape shots, closeups of Sid (YES, Thank you, GOD!) and... well... porn. I'll get back to that.
And again I find myself wondering if my slash goggles are on too tight, or if there really was a shitload of chemistry between the two leading men. There was eye-sex, nude photography, voyerism, photographing while sleeping, obsession with one's past... I dunno. It smells an awful lot like at least bromance. An artsy fartsy one, but a bromance, no less.
So what I liked about this movie was:
The perfected look of being a million miles away that Sid pulled off brilliantly again and again to the point of wondering if that was all he was gonna do all movie. It wasn't, as caps will show later.
Also, one cannot help but love the gracious nudity of Sid. Mmm.
Smoking!Sid may or may not be a new fetish of mine, slowly overtaking Sid-with-a-gun.
The bromance!
Dislikes:
The porn. I mean really. I've seen soft core pornos with less explicit sex than this. One or two scenes would be ok, I guess, but again and again and again? I started fast-forwarding after the third one without Sid.
ON TO THE PICTURES!! (Note: A lot of these were very very dark, so I've brightened them manually after seeing how horrid the auto-contrast thingy did. I might not have done a good job, but at least you can make out what's going on in most of them.)
If you want all my un-edited caps, I've uploaded them to a temporary folder on photobucket. They'll stay there for... I dunno, a few weeks? Anyway. Grab if you like! The edited ones (I didn't post all 84...) can be found here.
First, some nice Sid shots:
First frame of the movie. Far-away look: Check!
Landscape and Sid.
Sid with sexy-time eyes! *swoon*
Oh hai thar, sexy!! I wouldn't mind waking up to this, even with his broken-man-face on.
Bug-eyes Sid! Taking lessons from Andrew Robinson??
Sid being spooky in an alley. Well hello, rape fantasy!
Far-away look again.
Sid got hurt! And is apparently drugged out of his skull...
Here with a WTF face!
Windswept Sid. Yummy!
Stubbly Sid!
Clean shaved Sid! Not a happy Sid, though. Woah.
Sleeping on a bus:
Sid doing... stuff to a lady in a car. *fans self*
Tiny Sid! Woah, he can fold himself to incredibly small size!
Now for the more fun stuff! Here is a little guide to the bromance.
Puppy-following of the crush: Check!
Eye-sex while gorgeous women are dancing on stage: Check!
Ogling crush, while crush is ogling women.
Watching crush pack and snapping a picture of him while he isn't looking.
Snapping pictures of crush sleeping!
Crush stalking puppy!
Puppy worries about his crush. Awww, don't be sad!
Still stalking, after watching puppy take a swim in his undies. Puppy knows. Look at that goofy smile!
And just hanging out together!
Not to mention: Catching puppy having sex with some chick.
Crush is being a sad Sid.
Sad sid gets better, though, as puppy hooks him up with horny chick grinding against him. Awww. Look at that happy face!
Also, puppy photographs the whole sex scene with Sid and horny chick. And looks kinda... sad about it. Anyway.
Now is the time for what you've all been waiting for! The NUDE PICS!!! In some semblance of order, here is the gracious Sid nudity/lovemaking!
Oh yes. "Embrasse-moi" too, Sid!
And then a nice and slow camera trip up Sid's back. *wipes off drool*
Then some wonderful smooching! *sigh*
And then, as an extra bonus, we get the morning after!
For some strange reason, this gets me so hot and bothered! I think it's his belly, of all things! Anyways... GUH!
Well... I had to... crack and all.
And just because I think it's funny as hell... horny mocked him about the night before... and then he locks her out on the balcony, naked! LOL!
And to finish off, a few more goodies:
Sid sniffing a chick.
Sid doing stuff that makes me happy in my pants...
Only to finish with a hug so tender and sad that it makes me want to cuddle him instead! C'mere, Sid, baby. Let momma take you under her wing... and do naughty things to ya. Mwahahaha.
Sid is not amused and makes pouty-face.
And finally a bit of mutual ogling.
God, I love Sid's hair in these pics.
AND THAT'S IT! *phew*

What I did find interesting is that the film maker is Lebanese, making this to date the most sexually explicit Arab-made film. I was pretty surprised with just how sexually explicit it was and disappointed that more of that didn't involve Sid. Boo!

Date: 2010-01-10 09:52 pm (UTC)I'm very fond of his belly; I think it's cute. It's so interesting to see the curves of a very thin man who's never even thought about sucking in his tummy, and there's something very enticing and vulnerable about it.

I note with amusement that many of the porn pictures have been removed from photobucket... *snickers at prudes*

Date: 2010-01-11 05:16 am (UTC)Once, a drawing got removed. It was a nude drawing with absolutely no bits showing, and the drawing was so bad you would hardly know it was a person! I mean, DAMN! PRUDEFACE MUCH???
